This chapter describes how to upgrade Monitoring Console to Java ES 5 Update 1 (Release 5U1): Monitoring Console 1.0 u1.
The chapter provides a general overview of upgrade issues and procedures for the different upgrade paths supported by Release 5U1. This chapter covers the following sections:
File locations in this chapter are specified with respect to a directory path referred to as MonitoringConsole-base. This path was set by the Java ES installer when Monitoring Console was installed.
The default value of these directory paths are:
C:\Program Files\Sun\JavaES5\jesmc\jesmc
C:\Program Files\Sun\JavaES5\share\mfwk\config
C:\Program Files\Sun\JavaES5\share\mfwk
The following sections describe general aspects of Monitoring Console that impact upgrading to Java ES 5 Update 1 :
Monitoring Console Web GUI is an application in SJWC. Release 5U1 Monitoring Console is a maintenance release that fixes bugs in Java ES 5 (Release 5) Monitoring Console and adds a few new features. See the Monitoring Console Release Notes for details. Monitoring Console was first introduced into Java ES with Release 5.
The following table shows the supported Monitoring Console upgrade paths to Java ES 5 Update 1.

Java ES 5 Update 1 Monitoring Console is backward compatible with the Release 5 version.
Monitoring Console has dependency on a number of shared components Java ES components (see Table 1–8).
This section includes information about upgrading Monitoring Console from Java ES 5 to Java ES 5 Update 1 . The section covers the following topics:
When upgrading Release 5 Monitoring Console to Release 5U1, consider the following aspects of the upgrade process:
General Upgrade Approach. The upgrade is achieved by patching Release 5 Monitoring Console.
Upgrade Dependencies. Monitoring Console has dependencies on a number of Java ES shared components (see Table 1–8), two of are hard upgrade dependencies and need to be upgraded when you perform a maintenance upgrade of Monitoring Console: MFWK and SJWC.
Backward Compatibility. Release 5UI Monitoring Console is backwardly compatible with the Release 5 version.
This section describes how to perform an upgrade of Monitoring Console from Java ES 5 to Java ES 5 Update 1. This section covers the following topics:
Before you upgrade Monitoring Console, perform the tasks described below.
Verify the current version of Monitoring Console before you upgrade.
Open the Monitoring Console URL in a web browser:
https:MonitoringConsole_Host:6789
Log in as the Administrator.
Click the Sun Java System Monitoring Console link.
Click the Version button.
The Monitoring Console version information is displayed.
Monitoring Console 1.0 u1
Monitoring Console 1.0
It is generally recommended that all Java ES components on a computer system (and in a computing environment) be upgraded to Release 5U1. Release 5U1 Monitoring Console has hard upgrade dependencies on MFWK and SJWC shared components, which therefore need to be upgraded before upgrading Monitoring Console. Monitoring Console also requires that Windows Installer patch (126910–02) is already applied.
Upgrade of Monitoring Console to Release 5U1 does not require the reconfiguration of Monitoring Console software. Therefore backup of Monitoring Console data is optional.
This section discusses considerations that impact the upgrade procedure for Monitoring Console, followed by a description of the procedure itself.
The upgrade of Monitoring Console software to Java ES 5 Update 1 takes into account the following considerations:
In a maintenance upgrade, you do not have to migrate schema, configuration, security or user data.
The Release 5U1 Monitoring Console upgrade patches for Windows are shown in the following table:
The procedure documented below applies to Monitoring Console instances residing locally on the computer where the upgrade is taking place.
Log in as Administrator.
Shut down the Release 5 Monitoring Console instances by stopping SJWC.
You can stop Monitoring Console by stopping SJWC.
For example, you can stop the default SJWC instance from the command line.
C:\Program Files\Sun\JavaES5\share\webconsole\bin\smcwebserver.bat stop
Make sure you have upgraded any Java ES components upon which Monitoring Console has hard upgrade dependencies (see Upgrade Monitoring Console Dependencies.
Obtain the required Monitoring Console Release 5U1 upgrade patches, based on Table 13–3.
To obtain the patch, see Accessing Java ES Patches. Patches can be downloaded to \workingDirectory.
Install the patch.
Installation is generally performed by running patch-id.exe, however, be sure to consult the README.patch-id file in the patch directory for installation instructions.
If you are prompted to restart the system, select No. Wait till the patch installation process is completed and then restart and re-login as the same user to complete the patch installation.
Verify the patch log file.
The log file is found at: %TEMP%\SUNJAVAES_<patch-id>.log
Verify the patch installation with the utility ListJavaESPatches.exe.
Run ListJavaESPatches.exe and check that the output includes the patch id of the patch that you have installed in Step 5. For more information, see Identifying Installed Java ES Patches.
Start SJWC.
For example, start the default SJWC instance.
C:\Program Files\Sun\JavaES\share\webconsole\bin\smcwebserver.bat start
